Are bell pepper healthy?
Very. They’re a major boost of vitamin C and fibre with very few calories. Be sure to use red, orange, and yellow peppers for healthy snacks as they pack more nutrition than their green counterparts.
This means not only is this salad extremely low calorie, but it’s packed with Vitamin C and fibre.
